Things were definitely on the way out with the Smoot hearings and the second manifesto, but some were still done as late as at least 1912 (if memory serves). Of course, Elders Taylor and Cowley were removed from the Quorum of the Twelve over this (in 1905 and 1911, respectively).

Thank you.

I'll get the book. Until then, it sounds like the discontinuation of the practice was a rather sloppy affair. TB's point might have some merit.

Van Wagoner's book has a chapter on post-Manifesto polygamy too.
